Earlier this month, Michael Cassidy, a Christian veteran, single-handedly demolished a statue symbolizing Satan. It had been installed in an Iowa Capitol building. Driven by his faith and conviction, Cassidy bought a plane ticket to Iowa without a clear plan. His inspiration partly came from the movie ‘Field of Dreams.’
In the moment, Cassidy’s disbelief soon turned into a conviction that action was necessary. He explained, “Yeah, and it wasn’t a prank. It was a real Statue of Satan. And you know, the Satanists, some of them may think it’s just a joke, that they’re there just trying to troll people, but the devil is real.”
Upon reaching the Capitol, Cassidy found the place almost deserted, with just one person praying nearby. “I went to the Capitol. I didn’t know what to expect, whether there would be politicians there that I could yell at and say, ‘Hey, you idiots, take this thing down!’”
